The mechanistic action and application of a beta-3 selective adrenergic modulator (LY488756) in finishing cattle
… example of a growth promoting technology in beef cattle is beta-adrenergic agonists. Research was conducted to gain a greater understanding of the mechanistic action and practical application of LY488756, a selective β3-adrenergic modulator, when fed to finishing cattle. When our efforts began, …

Determination of Energy Efficiency of Beef Cows under Grazing Conditions Using a Mechanistic Model and the Evaluation of a Slow-Release Urea Product for Finishing Beef Cattle
… and carcass characteristics and 2) N balance of finishing cattle. Steers had lower initial F:G when SRU was used as the only source of feed N (treatment 3), suggesting that SRU may replace both NPN and true protein feeds in finishing cattle diets. High levels of either NPN source had greater N …

The use of different nutritional strategies and mathematical models to improve production efficiency, profitability, and carcass quality of feedlot cattle
… On d 57 all steers were placed on AL-HS for finishing until d 140. Steers that consumed more total energy (AL-HS and AL-IS) throughout production achieved greater carcass fatness in the end of the 140 d period, although these responses were difficult to evaluate via real-time ultrasound …

Effect of Zilpaterol hydrochloride and steroid implantation on yearling steer feedlot performance, carcass characteristics, and skeletal muscle gene expression
… a growth promotant that is approved for use in finishing cattle to improve growth performance and increase lean tissue accumulation. Little is known about the combined effects of ZH with anabolic steroid hormone implants. There is also little published data on the effect these growth promotants …

Profitability and adoption of limit feeding during the stocker phase
… and adoption of limit feeding stocker cattle to better assist producers with management decisions. One analysis looks at comparing the profitability of limit feeding or ad libitum feeding stocker cattle, and the other looks at factors that influence producer adoption of limit feeding. …

Effects of endocrine modifiers on growth, carcass characteristics, and blood and tissue metabolites of finishing beef cattle
… lipogenic enzyme activity were evaluated in beef cattle. In 1 experiment steers were fed 1 of 5 supplemental levels of vitamin A (0, 1,103, 2,205, 4,410, or 8,820 IU/kg DM). Final BW, G:F, ADG, HCW, LM area, marbling, and quality grade distribution did not differ among treatments. Except for d 56, …

Effects of chromium supplementation on dam performance and progeny growth and development
… is only 1 FDA approved source of Cr to be fed to cattle, chromium-propionate (Cr-prop). We hypothesized that feeding Cr-prop to cows during gestation would increase dam insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in gestation and increase subsequent milk production, thereby increasing weaning …

Supplementation Strategies for Growing and Finishing Beef Cattle on Tall Fescue Pastures in the Southeast
… high-quality forage source to support consistent cattle growth and production. Furthermore, the nearly year-round grazing potential serves as a cost-effective feed source. Leveraging forage resources is imperative for the U.S. beef industry to maintain consistent production of a quality human …
